Abstract

We are developing a cooperative learning environment in the subject area of statics that combines hands-on experiments with interactive multimedia in the framework of experiential learning. The project is part of the National Science Foundation´s Southeastern University and College Coalition for Engineering Education (SUCCEED), which is committed to a comprehensive revitalization of undergraduate engineering education for the 21st Century. We discuss elements of the workshop environment and illustrate how students are guided through the four stages of experiential learning to discover the method of joints for the analysis of trusses
